Madonna Jumps the Shark in W Magazine

Filed under: CELEBRITY STYLE, Celebrity, News, Hot or Not

We have to admit, if we had Madonna's body, we'd be fiercely tempted to show it off, too. But, in true Madonna form, she's taken it just a little bit too far in a revealing, but not really sexy, photo spread in this month's issue of W.

Celebs Bare All for Magazines

    Kate Hudson recently revealed that she loves posing for provocative photo shoots -- but the sultry starlet certainly isn't the only celeb who's willing to bare all a magazine cover.

    Jennifer Aniston for GQ
    Was her ultra-revealing cover stunning or sad? Find out!

    Eva Mendes for Jane
    The actress isn't bashful about showing a little skin (just look at these steamy Calvin Klein ads!).

    Britney Spears for Bazaar
    Showing off her hot pregnant bod, back when we thought there might be hope for her and K-Fed.

    Britney Spears for Rolling Stone
    But of course, Brit was happy to bare all before she was ready to bare children.

    Christina Aguilera
    They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

    Demi Moore for Vanity Fair
    And before Britney and Christina were competing with pregnant poses in their birthday suits, Demi Moore graced the cover of Vanity Fair in nothing but her wedding ring (and some nice earrings!).

    Lindsay Lohan for Entertainment magazine
    Back when it was plausible that she might turn out sane.

    Mariah Carey for Interview
    Still looking great at 38!

    Rose McGowan and Marley Shelton for Rolling Stone
    This certainly added to the hype surrounding the actresses' blockbuster movie, "Grindhouse."



In the shots Madonna wears her usual cracked out combination of thigh-high lace up boots, corset, string bikini bottoms and in a few, a strap of white fabric -- wait, a bandage? -- wrapped around/sort of falling off her (suspiciously perky) breasts.

You know, the kind of outfit everyone she tosses on to run to the supermarket.

As fit as she is, the photos are kind of sad. They push her over the edge from "Wow, can you believe she's 50?!" down into the valley of "desperate mom who sunbathes topless every Wednesday when the poolboy comes."

We aren't saying she should cover it up in turtlenecks and granny dresses.
This is Madonna and she's a sexuality machine.

But it would be a lot more interesting, not to mention palatable, to see her do something sexy that redefines being 50 instead of grasping at styles she did better in her 30s.
